After hearing Sandi Patti’s Finest Moment CD, I would be very honest to admit that I did not realy this CD. Honestly if I were to be given a choice I will not purchase this entire CD. Most of the songs here did not bless me at all. …

Eminem’s final album, “Curtain Call” was a bit disappointing. It was short and it didn’t have many new songs on it. Some of the new songs are cool and have good beats, like “Shake That” featuring Nate Dogg.
